I've gotta come up with $300 for the parts to fix it, then I have to put 'em in myself. Nothing I can't handle, but it's just a pain in the ass replacing a flywheel, clutch assembly and starter on a transverse mounted engine on a front wheel drive car. I was working on putting up a tree. Had to chase down 2 burned out bulbs on the light string - that took a good 45 minutes. Got that fixed and decided to take a break to cheer myself up. Ended up here joining a chorus of fuck christmas.
I say we all dump water on ourselves, join hands and walk into an electrical substation and see how many well decorated houses we can darken when we grab the high power lines.
Ho Ho fucken Ho

Oh what a difference a day makes. I went to my son's Winter Symphony tonight. It was magnificent. First time I ever sat through an entire concert without an attack. When I got out to the van, all it would do is go "Click" Battery fully charged, fluids all good, no wires cut or burnt that I could see. Just fucken, "Click" I was thinking maybe the solenoid went out on the starter, so I yanked the starter out just in time for all the auto parts houses to be closed. Now in addition to all the mirth and merriment of my previous post, I am totally vehicleless. Got to get the wife to work and the kids to school and get my fat ass into town tomorrow to try and figure out what the fuck is wrong with vehicle #2. I'm praying it's the starter. If there is a God, it will be the starter.
I really don't know how much more of this Sad Sack life I can take. Every day brings me just that much closer to check out time. It's just not worth this much trouble to stay alive and be so fucking miserable.

I'm kind of at a loss for words, and don't want to hand you some cliche or anything. Dude, you HAVE to make it through this. it IS worth it to keep fighting. It seems for alot of us here, when it rains it pours - and the shit just keeps piling up and all you can think of is "What next?" The thing is... if you decide to 'check out early' - you might miss a ray of light that could be just around the corner. All we have is hope, but we have to hang on to that hope. There is a reason to keep on fighting, even if You do suffer wounds in the battle, NEVER give up the war. I hope that makes sense. Sending you all of the vibes and energies I can muster up, and keeping you in prayer bro. Just DON'T give up. You have more reasons to live than you even know.
Peace,
Carl D

Mike, please keep on hangin' in there. The world would be a dimmer place without you.
For what it's worth, I gave Santa the antidote, rescued Mrs. Claus before she was violated, patched up all the reindeer and even put all of the elves back together. (Oh, and Rudolph can have his leg back too, I guess...) I cleaned the claymore mines out of the chimney and even whipped up a new batch of spit-free eggnog.
Happiest of holidays, everyone!! 
-Frank

Gator, I think Carl put it very very well. Any better than I could. But I must add what I live by, "everything happens for a reason" if I didn't believe that I don't know where I'd be! There has to be a reason for sh*t, if only to make us stronger, or prepare us for something else, then hopefully to lead to some happiness and peace. And what about your son? When I start saying I can't DO this anymore, I just remember how it would affect my kids if they were missing a parent. I lost my mom at age 23 and it was HARD at that age, I could not imagine losing her as a child. Hang in there, sending you lotsa vibes of strength and luck.

It was a very bad day yesterday and to top it all off, at 3:00am this morning my computer died. That was the cherry on top of a totally fucked up day/week/year. I contemplated what to do and decided to just go to bed.
Well, here it is a bright new day. I am feeling much better. It was the starter on the van. An $80.00 bad check and I was on the road again. My computer unfucked up itself. Seriously, it just started working again. I know why, but that's another story.
Thank you all for rallying around me. It is good to have people like you to kick me back in bounds when I go too far out there.
PF, Peace and Love to you all,
Mike

Yeah gator....gotta keep fightin the good fight for when ya run into all that GOOD luck......don't worry.....it'll happen........maybe this is jus a test.
marlin mentiond Mrs Clause in a pink thong....dude.....do you have any idea how old she is ? Bags and sags visual Pam 
PS: My furnace 'died' last nite........imagine that....in Ohio.....dead of winter !! And since we won't pay the annual $ 200.00 fee to my 24 hour service furnace co and then on top that the $ 80.00 flat fee for fall furnace inspecition to kick it all off to be ON there service plan they would not come out cuz we were not priority and the guy was busy till late on nuther job and only one workin. So.....to get the guy to come out we had to pay more then double.....punishment ??? The part takes longer to get outa the box then it does to take the old part off and install the new one....one screw is all that holds it. Worth $ 70.00....he wanted $ 219.00 paid when serviced. So Brad had to drive all the way out to the guys house at midnight when he got home to get the part himself to install and save us some BUCKS. It's jus onea them dam igniter plugs. Sure did boost up my bah-humfuck attitude. At least we got heat now tho. Sigh.......................
